Month: February 2018

Just over two weeks away is National Butchers Week – a week dedicated to our beloved independent butchers across the land who promise to supply us with the very best produce week after week. Running between the 12th and 18th March this year, Butchers Week is an annual event established to help draw attention to our local butchers who are standing strong on our high streets and to encourage all of us as shoppers, to continue shopping with them – after all, they do offer great products! Here at Coastal Cottages of Pembrokeshire, we’re delighted to be supporting one of our very own […]

If you’ve been out and about around Pembrokeshire this week, you may have spotted a member of the Coastal Cottage’s team running round (and very much out of breath), giving away bunches of daffodils and Coastal Cottage’s ‘plastic free’ cotton shopping bags, paying for people’s parking, nursing hedgehogs or gathering food collections to donate to Milford Haven’s food bank! This is all because last week was ‘Random Act of Kindness Week’, one of our favourite events on the calendar to get involved with as a company! We have loved every minute of mayhem spent bringing smiles across Pembrokeshire and hope to inspire others […]

As I’m sure your all aware today is PANCAKE DAY, and we sure made the most of it in the Coastal Cottages office! From butterscotch and bananas to strawberry’s and Nutella – we had all sorts of wonderful toppings g trailed and tested today! A shout out goes to Kelly who now holds the official pancake flipping champion belt for the girls and Kieran for the boys! Will they be able to hold onto their titles for next year.. Life is too short for rubbery pancakes.. so this year we wanted to avoid this at all expense! To do […]

One of our favourite weeks to get involved with every year as a company is Random Acts of Kindness week! It’s the perfect way to give a little something back to our guests, the community and of course Pembrokeshire. When we started brain storming lots of wild and wonderful idea’s in the office of how we could make a difference this year, we couldn’t quite put our finger on what we felt was missing – It was the ‘little’ things! Sometimes small random acts of kindness can be overlooked, yet often go the longest way! Simply paying someone a compliment […]

If you didn’t already know today is a very, very important day .. on the 9th of February 2018 – It’s National Pizza Day! It only felt right that this week’s blog should of course be dedicated to the best pizzas in Pembrokeshire. We’ve hunted high and low to bring you the locals favourite’s, secret pop ups and the most exotic toppings around the county, and even found a special welsh pizza recipe along the way for you to try.. Top Joes, Tenby. An intimate restaurant tucked away in the bustling streets of Tenby. If you’re after great pizza, great […]

With the Six Nations in full swing and St Davids Day just around the corner, we can’t help but get a little extra “Welsh” at this time of year. The desire for a cuppa and a warm Welsh cake grows as the days near spring and we’re anxiously waiting for the day which brings along the first sighting of a daffodil (although I have it on good authority that there are a few of these yellow beauties already visible in Abercastle). This is one of our favourite times of the year to welcome our guests to our little part of […]

With the Six Nations kicking off this weekend, it’s important to plan out where you’ll be watching the games. Whilst some of you might decide to put on some nibbles and stay inside your cosy cottage, some of you might be thinking about heading to a local pub to soak up the atmosphere. But the Six Nations are a big event in the Welsh sporting calendar, so deciding which pub to head to can be a difficult decision. That’s where we come in. We’ve put together a shortlist of recommended pubs to help you narrow your choices! First up, The […]
